Daily A-Zinc SoftGums

As well as having a delicious zingy lime flavour, these Daily A-Zinc SoftGums are packed with vitamins and minerals that will augment your health and wellbeing. Let's take a look at some of them. 

L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C)

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that your body can’t produce. This water-soluble vitamin is found in many fruits and vegetables, including oranges, kiwi fruit, strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, kale, and spinach. Here are scientifically proven benefits of taking a vitamin C supplement:

• May help manage high blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart.
• May reduce the risk of chronic disease as this strong antioxidant boosts the immune system by protecting cells from free radicals.
• Helps prevent iron deficiency by converting iron that is poorly absorbed into a more acceptable form.
• Helps prevent gout attacks by reducing uric acid levels.
• Boosts immunity by increasing the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes.

DL-α-tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) 

Vitamin E is a group of fat-soluble compounds with distinctive antioxidant activities. Health benefits of Vitamin E include:

• Reducing free radical damage and slows the ageing process of your cells.
• Helping to fight Alzheimer’s disease. Some studies show that high-dose vitamin E might delay the progression of moderate Alzheimer's disease.
• Helping to fight liver disease. Research shows that vitamin E might improve symptoms of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. 

Nicotinamide

Nicotinamide is the water-soluble, active form of vitamin B3. Its deficiency leads to serious illness such as pellagra (inflamed skin, diarrhoea, dementia, and sores in the mouth). Nicotinamide has anti-inflammatory properties which may reduce sebum and improve the condition of skin with acne. Nicotinamide can also improve skin barrier function by decreasing water loss through the epidermis.

Zinc gluconate

Zinc is a naturally occurring mineral that is important for growth and for the development and health of body tissue. Here is what zinc can do:

• Aids memory by regulating neuronal communication, which affects how memories are formed and how we learn.
• Regulates immune function by activating the cells responsible for attacking infected cells. 
• Helps to heal wounds by maintaining skin integrity.

Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6)

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that your body needs for several functions like fat and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters.

This vitamin may:

• Reduce symptoms of depression by creating neurotransmitters that regulate emotions, including dopamine, serotonin, and gamma-aminobutyric acid. 
• Reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s risk by improving brain function and decreasing high homocysteine blood levels.
• Reduce the risk of heart disease by preventing clogged arteries.

Folic acid

Folic acid or pteroylmonoglutamic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that should be obtained by dietary intake because it: 

• Prevents birth defects. Folic acid is prescribed to pregnant women to prevent fetal birth defects and pregnancy-related complications, including preeclampsia.
• Promotes brain health. 

Retinyl acetate (vitamin A)

Vitamin A maintains healthy vision and ensures the normal function of your immune system and all organs. The health benefits of vitamin A include:

• Protecting the eyes from night blindness. 
• Lowering the risk of certain cancers, including Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as cervical, lung and bladder cancer.

Phylloquinone (vitamin K1)

Vitamin K1 is a form of vitamin K well-known for its role in blood clotting. What’s more, the vitamin activates proteins required for bone growth and development.

D-biotin (vitamin B7)

Vitamin B7 (also referred to as vitamin H) is a part of the vitamin B complex. This vitamin:

• Thickens hair by stimulating hair growth and helping it to look healthy.
• Improves the skin by correcting issues like acne and psoriasis. 
• Strengthens the nails. Several studies have shown that those who take a biotin supplement can thicken their nails by up to 25 per cent.

Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3)

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that regulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and facilitates normal functions of the immune system. Taking this vitamin helps to:

• Reduce depression. A study concluded that vitamin D deficiency was more common in those who were experiencing anxiety and depression.
• Boost weight loss. A study demonstrated that daily calcium and vitamin D supplementation are effective in weight loss and appetite suppression.

Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12)

This man-made form of vitamin B12 is used to prevent and treat low blood levels of this vitamin that may occur due to poor nutrition, HIV infection, intestinal problems, cancer, pregnancy, old age, alcoholism, or strict vegetarianism. This vitamin may help to:

• Prevent anaemia and produce red blood cells;
• Prevent major birth defects;
• Prevent osteoporosis;
• Improve mood.

CBD

Many users of CBD take it to help manage pain, ease anxiety, or help them to sleep better. Some users find that CBD has an energising effect while others say that it has a calming effect on them.
